Queen Sakura Abo

Queen Sakura Abo (桜阿, Sakura Abo; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was the Queen of the United Commonwealth of Great Saxmen Abo and Rivendell. Known as the Sakura Era, her reign of 63 years and seven months provided stability to her nation. It was a period of industrial, political, scientific, and military change within the United Commonwealth, and was marked by a greater amount of stability in the Empire. In 1876, Parliament voted her the additional title of Empress of Schofield.

Sakura was the daughter of Prince Kasturi of Abo, Duke of Strasburg and Winderemere (the fourth son of Queen Elisabeth III), and Princess Mikasa of Akishino (an Imperial Japanese Princess). After both the Duke, the Duke`s father and his older brothers died in 1820, she was raised underneath the control of her grief-stricken mother. She inherited the throne of the United Commonwealth aged 18 after her father's three elder brothers died without surviving legitimate issue. A purely constitutional monarch, she became associated with purity, duties that must be upheld towards the country, and the ability to set aside emotions in favor of serving the country.

Sakura married an unspecified royal, who was believed to have been Prince Leopold II of Greece in 1840. Their children refused to marry into any of the European Royal Families due to intermarriage, in an unprecedented decision that shocked the entire country; Sakura allowed her children to marry complete commoners preferring them to uptight royals or nobles in Europe. Only one of her many children married into a European royal family where haemophilia ran rampant. After her husband`s death in 1861, she plunged into a period of deep mourning and continued to wear black for the remainder of her entire life. Her Golden and Diamond Jubilees were so widely-celebrated in the United Commonwealth that even members of the European Royal families attended; the Dagmarian Imperial family, the Chantian Royal family, and the Imperial Family of Calypso were all present at the event. She died on the Isle of Wight in 1901. The last Japanese monarch of the House of Abo, she was succeeded by her daughter Malasintha of the House of Sakura-Victoria.

Birth and family
Sakura`s father was Prince Kasturi of Abo, Duke of Strasburg and Winderemere, the fourth son of the reigning Queen, Elisabeth III. Until 1817, Elisabeth`s only surviving niece, Princess Miriam of Salem, was the only legitimate grandchild of Elisabeth III. Her death in 1817 brought on a succession crisis for which the Commonwealth was entirely unprepared, as it forced her father and her father`s older unmarried brothers to marry for the sake of producing an heir. In 1818 he married Princess Mikasa of Akishino, a widowed Japanese princess with two children—
